Excellent results. I reduced the sugar as another review suggested and baked in 2, 9 inch pans. This is what the pre-packaged shortcake is trying to be. Easy to make, too.

Easy and good. I made it quickly and as others suggested I added cinnamon sticks, cumin, and coriander, about 2 taps of each. Cooked my potatoes in beef broth in the microwave while the beef cooked, so it came together in about 25 minutes. I served it on naan with feta (had no paneer) and it was great.

So I read this and decided to skip a bunch of steps, essentially putting a half-thawed roast into my enamel Dutch oven, coat it with seasoning of your preference, and put a layer of onion and a sliced carrot in the botoom.

This is very good and a quick supper. I used the base recipe and added more veggies, including sweet potatoes, frozen peas, red pepper & edamane. It turned out very good and was easy to make. Reheats well. Frozen diced chicken works well if you don't have fresh.

This is easy and a great tasting meal. I was skeptical, but the root beer does give it a nice flavor.

EXCELLENT and so tender. I don't reserve much of the juice, but drain it and add more BBQ sauce at the end.

jjespencer reviewed Jeanie Bean’s Black Chocolate Cake. 03/23/2011
Loved this cake! I went with the original version and only altered it to cut down on the fat & sugar content. Still tasted amazing and was just like a devil's food cake mix, without all the processing and chemicals. I subbed 1/3 applesauce, 1 cup of Splenda, and 1 cup of milk, for half of the original ingredients (1/3 short + 1/3 applesauce, etc). Worked out well and I used a cream cheese chocolate frosting. Fantastic and I'll make it again. Thanks, Jeanie for sharing!

jjespencer reviewed Allrecipes Member’s Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas. 04/28/2010
LOVED this! You definitely don't miss the meat, and if you puree the beans before mixing with rice, then it's even better. My husband doesn't like beans, so I did this and he didn't mind. I also followed other suggestions and substituted veggies with salsa slightly drained and used regular enchilada sauce, along w/corn tortillas. Delicious and fast to make.

jjespencer reviewed Mendy L’s Authentic Chinese Egg Rolls (from a Chinese person). 01/18/2010
excellent recipe. These turned out great. I cheated and used the pre-cut cole slaw mix, but otherwise very good. I spiced mine a little with some ginger and garlic. If you don't like fried egg rolls, I sprayed mine with cooking spray and baked at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. My husband said they taste great and he doesn't miss the fried.

jjespencer reviewed Shannon :) ’s Maple-Mustard Glazed Pork Chops. 08/21/2008
We really liked this, especially my husband. It's an easy recipe, ingredients are common, and fast to cook. I took the suggestions of other reviewers and cut down the sugar/syrup amount by a tablespoon or too. All turned out well. With leftovers, I used the pork for souvlaki (pita stuffed with meat, feta, and tziki sauce) and it turned out well, also.
